With the PhotoID Studio desktop app you can create a custom photo size for any document used in any country, save it as a preset, and reuse your saved preset with a single click.

Always verify the size before an official application

The information here reflects the sizes commonly accepted for visa applications. Authorities can change photo requirements without prior notice, and different documents in the same country (passport, ID card, driving licence, residence permit) may require different sizes. Check the current guidance of the authority you are applying to before preparing your photo.

How should a North Macedonia visa photo look?

North Macedonia puts the background first: plain white, no colour cast. The format is 35×45 mm under ICAO 9303, one photo for passport, ID card and visa.

Same bar at every counter

Passport, ID and visa desks apply the same ICAO criteria. A tinted or shaded background rarely passes.

Background cleanup in the app

PhotoID Studio swaps the backdrop for an even white, then crops to 35×45 mm with the head near 70%. Files export at 300 dpi.

At the camera

Step away from the wall so no shadow forms, and light your face evenly.

Common refusal reasons

• Background grey, tinted or textured. • A wall shadow behind the head. • Head share off the 70% mark. • Under 3-5 mm of room above the hair.

Cost and printing

The yearly plan covers your photo work. Any photo counter prints the 35×45 mm file.

Frequently asked questions

Must my wall be pure white?

No, the app swaps the backdrop; only the final photo must be white.

Is one photo enough for passport, ID and visa?

Yes, all three take the 35×45 mm white format.
